First half stats are here.
Two turnovers by the Cowboys gave the Kansas City Chiefs great field position. One Succop field goal and a Mike Vrabel TD reception near the goal line have KC up 10 to 3.
I'm checking out the Cowboys game thread and they sound, like, well like how we sounded during the first quarter.
The offense is almost completely ineffective. We're going to need some more turnovers to score. This final drive before the half was better but still ended up with a Dustin Colquitt punt.
Regardless, how good does this lead feel, however temporary? So good.
GOOOOOO CHIEFS!!!!

we need

No more...

Just do like other people do if you have a DVR. pause the game until it matches with the radio broadcast and watch it with Mitch and Lenny!!!
Penn State to Kansas City...Always a winning combination.

So many Chiefs stars on the field right now
Bobby Bell, Neil Smith and Dan Saleamua get big ovations. Willie Lanier, too.
If that's the case
we need to invite them back every week. Even for the road games.
So Dallas is choosing to shoot itself in the foot
That’s nice. But we really need to come out with a good runback and then a strong offensive drive for a score to start the half.
By which you mean...
we’ll need to play good football?
by mynameistyler on Oct 11, 2009 1:37 PM CDT up reply actions
With the exception of our O line, I think our guys have been playing pretty well.
by WesternChief on Oct 11, 2009 1:38 PM CDT up reply actions
I agree.
I’m just concerned with this idea that we’ll need to play good football going forward if we expect to win this game.
by mynameistyler on Oct 11, 2009 1:39 PM CDT up reply actions
I think we just need to establish some offense
If we did our defense could continue to be spotty and we still win this game.
I can't lay it all on the O line
We’ve had a lot of chances to establish something and haven’t taken advantage.
So who else is to blame? Cassell? Kind of hard for him to set up when the D is on him in a couple of seconds.

Cassell has held onto it too long a few times

I don't think it's a matter of assigning blame
we just need to establish something. If we do Dallas may panic and make more mistakes.
I agree, I just don't think this Oline is capable of establishing the run.

Dal keeps making costly errors
by Ren on Oct 11, 2009 1:43 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
Can someone tell me
why you punt the ball when its 4th and 6, 7 seconds left in the half and a timeout left.
Maybe another 20 yard pass and you have a timeout left and a FG shot.
If you fail to convert, theres under 4 seconds left, time for 1 shot downfield, and Dallas has no timeouts, and need 48 yards to score a TD. Even if they run a play and try to get 15-20 yards n get outta bounds, 4 seconds isnt enough time, the clock would expire.
sack puts Dallas in field goal range
Desperately hoping for Desperate Measures
by averagegatsby on Oct 11, 2009 1:44 PM CDT up reply actions
An 8 yard sack
wouldnt put them in FG range. They would need a 13 yard sack just to be at the 35 yardline. Roll out of the pocket again..throw the ball away if nothing is there
Folk can hit it from 55 though.
Desperately hoping for Desperate Measures
by averagegatsby on Oct 11, 2009 1:47 PM CDT up reply actions
Dude.
7 seconds left on the clock. If we take a sack, theres maybe 3 seconds AT MOST. We surrender 5-10 yards, and 10 is unlikely considering Cassel knows the situation. But for the sake of the arguement, if we get sacked for 10 yards, theres 3 seconds left, and theyre at the 38. They need to get atleast 5-10 yards, and out of bounds in 3 seconds and HOPE that folk can knock it through. Its pretty unlikely
from the 38
its a 55 yard field goal

Nick Folk's
Career long is 53 and that was 2007. Hes 5 for 8 on 50yard+ FG’s. Hes a 3rd year kicker.
I think most people would take that chance.
That 2nd sentence didnt come out right.
Maybe we get another 20 yard pass, use our last timeout and have a chance at a FG.
wow our o line is back to terrible

keep hating the haley gameplan but
no turnovers is why we’ve kept it close with good D
If you have a good D
All you need is an offense that doesn’t turn the ball over and capitalizes on the turnovers you create. And they’ve done that so far :)
